.............it is even more shocking given how much free financial guidance they are given by the league and the teams. What would it be without that?

seems they are given financial guidance but what kind? They are just told what they should do? Its hard to give someone guidance when they have zero idea of what the guidance is even telling them. They need financial planners to actually do the work for them. But many have gotten hosed by that too.

I was just using the football coach as an example that maybe he has other ideas about life. I'll admit I could of had a better example! It's clear it doesn't seem to make much of an impression on him that weed is a no no in the NFL. Maybe he didn't fail for weed. Maybe he has a prescription for weed. Maybe he decided smoking is worth the risk because he was planning on being a short timer in the NFL anyway.

Or maybe he was just dumb and arrogant to think he wouldn't get caught again? Boy that sounds so simple right? Like anyone else that gets caught for doing the same thing over and over again. It's not that they don't care if they get caught, it's that they just don't THINK they'll get caught. And that, is stupidity.

Like I said before, would you be sticking up for him if he was continually caught for something other than pot? Like if it was cocaine?

And he has had access to the best rehabilitation possible. If the financial security for his kids isn't motivation enough to make a clean separation from that life and quit then he is a lost cause.

I'm sure his friends, family, and the team have told him that he's hurting himself and his family's quality of life. It's common for drug addiction to be linked with mental illness, which means he probably can't rationalize. Being told what's at stake isn't the same as knowing what's at stake. Rehab, whether it's the "best" available or not, is not going to be a cure in that regard.
